@7% 2B@ g WQ@ Wg@ perl'orations 8, of" the inner easing, through the porous material T, taking up the gases from the medicinal material therein, passing out through the opening E) and then through the opening 1H to the nostril o'l` the user, thc

air being medieated by its passage through the easing 'l`he air (Fig. 2) will pass through the registered openings 13 and 11, through the opening S, through the upper part of the inner easing through the opening or ]n\rforations .1 out o1" the opening 18 to the nostril of the person using the device. 'lo close the easing, the cap 11 and member 1() are pushed toward each other until the detent 21 enters the spiral portion of the slot 20, the cap 11 is then turned slightly to the lett with reference to thc member 1() and its rotary action forces the closure 17 into intimate contact with` the top or cap G of the inner easing 5, closing the perforations Q and 18 at the upper end of the casing, and (in Fig. 1) causing the inner casing to be depressed against the action of the spring 15 and closing the perforations S and l2 by contact with the closure 1.6 of the inner casing 6. The registering openings 13 and 1.4, shown. in Fig. 2, are closed when the cap 11 is rotated slightly with reference to the member 11).

22 is a lip formed by bending the wall of the groove 2() inwardly, to prevent the withdrawal of the detent 21, to hold. the parts 10 i and 1 1 in loose relation.

While I have herein described, for the purpose of illustration, an embodiment of my invention, it is apparent that considerable variation may be made therefrom without departure from the spirit and scope of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, of the United States, is:

1. In a device of the character described, an inner easing having perforations through each end, an outer easing composed of two members arranged for limited relative movement, having perforations in each end out of register with the perforations in the inner casing, a closure, in the end of each member, to close the perforation in both easings, and a means for holding said members in closed or locked position.

In an inhaler, an inner containing casing provided with perlorations, an outer casing composed of two parts inseparably connected together, capable ol" limited, relative rotary and longitudinal movement, and having pcrforations ou t of register with the perforations in the inner easing, and a locling means, comprising a bayonet joint, by the operation of which the two parts of said outer casing are longitudinally contracted and held and said perfor-ations are closed.

3. In an inhaler, an outer perforate easing, 9, an inner perforate easlng o, a yield-` ing closure 17 having an opening 18 lined with a tube of strengthening material to retain said opening clear.

4. In an inhaler, an exterior perforate casing composed of two members, a yielding closure 1T having a perforation 18 in one end thereof, an inner perforate containing easing, a spring 12 and a yielding closure 11), and a means for securing the two members of the exterior casing in associate relation.

5. In an inhaler, an inner containing casing provided with perforations in each end, an outer casing composed of' two parts, and having pertorations 1n its ends, out of register with the perforations in the inner easing, a closure of' yielding material in each end of the outer casing, having perforations registering with perforations in the outer easing, a spring for raising the inner easing when the two parts of the outer casing are longitudinally extended, and a means for securing the two parts of the outer casing when said casing is longitudinally contracted to close the perforations.

In testimony whereot1 I hereunto set my hand in thepresence of two witnesses.
